A Belgian man is battling the country’s court system to get his marriage annulled after finding out that his wife of 19 years was born a man.

Jan, identified only by his first name, told the Het Nieuwsblad newspaper that he discovered his Indonesian wife Monica underwent a sex change after he and his son heard rumors, according to the Telegraph.

"I brought her to Belgium. That was not easy. The Belgian courts had serious doubts about the authenticity of her birth and her identity papers, but eventually they accepted it anyway,” he said. “I thought she was an attractive woman, all woman. She had no male traits."

Jan, who is now undergoing psychiatric treatment, added that he decided not to have children with his wife because he had two in his previous marriage, and that Monica pretended to menstruate by using sanitary towels, according to the newspaper report cited by the Telegraph.

Oh, I think it's probably likely that he assumed that the gal he was importing was actually a gal. Therefore, yes, the entire relationship was based on a falsehood that it chose to never tell the husband.

If this guy's intention was to marry a woman, any woman will do, and stay married...then I accept his behavior. I'd think its rare that a man would have that idea of marriage though.

Huh? What he married wasn't and isn't a woman. It's a guy who has had (apparently) his boy parts cut off to make it look like a woman. Since it didn't tell the guy that it used to be a male, it's deception.

Uh, no.

Indeed there are, but that's a rather important part piece of the deal, no?

Of course it is.

If you're using "based on deception" to mean "began with deception" then I'd have to agree.

If you're using "based on deception" to mean "the majority of the relationship is grounded in deception" then I'd disagree. The majority of their presumably happily-married time together is based on so many other factors: their compatibility, their romantic moments, their legitimate enjoyment of each other, etc.

i'm thinking that if jan fell for this for 19 years, monica deserves some props.
sec

It should be fairly easy, some Ketchup and acting a total bitch for a few days isn't exactly Quantum Physics. Also of note it isn't Monica it's Monico.

One of my good friends has just gone trans this past year. It's been a trip watching him change over, and it's still hard to adjust to seeing sometimes. He's made some very stupid decisions... He lost his wife, his good job, his savings, his assets, and the majority of his friends. After hearing the emotional and physical abuse he has dealt with by his Jehovah Witness parents among other things, I really cannot judge him/her and fully support his decision to become what he has always felt inside. The thing is, just because he feels that he should've always been a female, does not change the way he has always cared for and been there for everyone else in his life. It's been sad watching a person that has been so giving, get rejected by everyone he's given to.

Here is a big **** you to all of you mother****ers who are all high and mighty.
Take a look in the mirror and judge yourself because you never know what's going on in the heart and soul of those whom surround you, even your closest friends.

No one marries a woman just because she's a woman. There are other factors involved.

At first, this statement seemed like it was obviously true.

I thought about this for ~3 minutes and came up with at least 6 men who married the first vagina they could buy, I'm sure there are thousands more.

Sadly, though, he's absolutely right. I've met plenty of people who were either too lazy, too apathetic, lived somewhere with almost no options, or were just so completely undesirable that they had to settle for any female they could get.
